THE NEWS IN CHICAGO.
CHieAao, November 2.-The first
news of the decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the case
of the Anarchists was taken TO the
county Jail by an Associated Press
reporter a few minutes after 1t had
been received from Washington.
Jailer Folsom was seated in his
office, tipped back in his chair, and
about to light his cigar. When the
reporter told him the news he de-
liherately struck a match, lit his
cigar and said:
well, it is just what we expect

There were no visitors at the jail
to-day, and all the prisoners were
in their cells when the news arrived
A note had been sent up to Spies
telling him that the writ had beer

statement to make in regard to thu
matter. Spies was sitting In hi

Grand Old Missouri.

|
Some one, who speaks by the
card andknows whereofhe treateth,
proclaims to the world the follow
ing living truths concerning grand
old Missouri: In travelling over
the State this vacation we have
been struck as never before with
the wonderful natural resources of
the country, the marked prosperity
of the people and extensive inn
provement everywhere in pro-
gress. The crops are excellent
Notwithstanding the drouth.
While bleeding Kansas hasn't
sufficient to sustain her population
and while boastful Illinois has to
be content with the shortest crop
raised in years, Missouri is radiant
with smiles over a heavy yield of
staples of commerce. When it is
remembered we are third in the
production of corn, eighth in wheat,
rye, oats and pig iron, first in sor-
ghum, ninth in tobacco, eighth in
manufactures, first in mules, third
in hogs and fourth in cattle, the
truth begins to dawn upon us that
Missouri is no Insignificant State
in the Union. True we've not built
quite as much railroad as Kansas,
equally true is it We have not is
sued bonds enough to cripple our
growth for twenty years. In fact
we are getting corporations to do
for us what some of our neighbors
are playing heavily to get done.
We have not doomed our State
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, but
our wheat and corn crops and other
evidences of prosperity are suf-
ficient proofthat one need not cross
the western border of our State to
find the Eden of the Mississippi
valley. Missouri is a grand State
and her grandeur is beginning to be
recognized. Her broad fertile
prairies her richly wooded streams:
her inexhaustible coal fields and
extensive mineral deposits, al
<-
mark her as the leading State O.
the Great Central Basin. With as
good a State University as can be
found anywhere, with three State
Normal Schools which are giving
the people well equipped teachers
with colleges ofthe very best type
scattered over her whole extent
with a school system, unfolding
into higher perfection, and sustain
ed by a fund surprising that of an,
other State, we have reasons t.
feel proud of the present, and joy
fully hopeful ofthe future.

Noticing the great interest taken in

thought perhaps some would like
to know how we IRE getting along
at the west end of the State. One
hundred and twenty days ago
where now stands one of the finest
exposition buildings in the West,
was a corn field, but Kansas City's
energy has made it another picture
at this time. From the opening
day success has crowned the mana
gers in every respect. The short time
for constructing such a building has
been wonderful. While its size
and grandeur are not equal to that Of
St.Louis it is, from all appearances,
by two or three years, to be st.
Louis great rival. The Dodge City

.Gets There 10 Only a Med
crate Size Audience.

Sam Jones lectured to q
light audience at the Opera House
Friday night, and his lecture was
characteristic of his subject-"Get
There" A few minutes after s.
o'clock the lecturer was introduced
by Rev. E. X. Miller, inadvertently,
as the Rev. Small. The audience,
long before the lecture was over,
felt sorry that the slip of MI. Mil
ler's tongue was not correct. The
lecturer is amusive, and keeps his
audience in . good humor, but
says many things of religion and of
God Almighty that sound harsh
and out of place, coming from a
minister of the gospel. He shoots
straight at the mark, and while
some of his language is uncouth
many of his illustration are beauti-
full. He is e~gotistical to a certain
extent and brings Sam Jones to the
front at every opportunity. He
related several incidents that came
near disgusting many of his audi
ence.. He will always interest his
hearers and draw good houses.
but we think would do much more
good if he was q little more choice
in his language. He does moi
think SO, evidently, as he makes il
a point to be as rough and tough il
his speech as possible. We do mo-
reproduce the lecture as our readers
have all read his sermons, of which
his lecture is a rehash, and We
could not do it justice withou
using more space than we care tt
devote to it. Jones is nothing t.
compare to Small as. an orator il
any sense of the word. Small i
much more polished and effectiv
and makes decidedly the best i'm
~pression upon any audience com
posed of the class of men and we
| men who attend such lectures.

EXTRAYAGANCE.

EDITOR REVIEW: We arc living IN
the age of wonders. We send officers
to the legislature to enact laws to
amend them for to better our condition
but instead they make them worse.
They promise economy, but they forget
their promises the first day the legisla-
ture is IN session. They introduced one
bill to our disadvantage of $1,000, the
salaries of the Supreme Judges are
high enough, $3.50 per day is plenty.
Work or play, rain or shine, Sundays
and all, they want to give them SO
per day. A hand can be hired to maui
rails 10 hours for 81, is this equal pay2
Is that the way to do with our moneys
Now they have too much money in the
treasury, SO they don't have to work for
it. They had better not give it to the
Judges but pass state bounty for coy
ote scalps of so, and the bill that the
Judges would get more than the voters
is willing they shall have, would pay
for $1,000 worth of scalps, which would
save the sheep of Oregon to the value
of S438, 900, counting sheep and lambs
at 81 per head, and l think that many
coyotes viii destroy that many OF
more. I will close for this time, think

THE PEACEFUL SOUFH.

The Louisville Democrat presents
these thoughts for the reflection of our
republican friends who predicted all
kinds of bad things in case the democ-
racy gained power once more in this
country: THE attitude of the solid
south since the advent Of the democratic
administration of federal affairs can
not fail to strike every rejecting mind
in the northern and western states with
satisfaction and admiration Those
who were apprehensive that the advent
of the democratic party to power would
be, as predicted and alleged by repub-
lican editors, orators and statesmen, the
pretext or occasion of turbulent con-
duct throughout the solid south, must
look on the peaceful and industrial
flow of events in that section as some
thing marvellous as well as something
grand and glorious to behold At the
same time one can not help animad-
verting upon the wickedly false prophe-
cies of the aforesaid republican leaders.
It can not simply be said that they
were mistaken. The contrast between
what ensued naturally, and that which
they predicted, is too great for them
to have had any basis at all for their
predictions"

The editor of The Oregonian affects
to see in Governor Pennoyer's message
a great deal Of heresy aud absurdity
cropping out, and bastinales him &C
cordingly. However, as often as Scott
comes up to any of the Governors
propositions, he has to admit their op-
positeness; for instance, the Governor
arraigus Senator Dolph for his ready
acuuiescence to the behests of the cor
porations, in the mater of an insult
able bridge across the Willamette in
Portland. For this on Thursday, the
Governor is berated soundly; but on
Friday Scott comes into possession OF
the Senate Bill, introduced by Dolpi
and concludes along with the Governor,
that it isn't just the thing. His recan
tation doesn't inclu'Ie an apology te
the Governor, but it ought to. Scott
will find out if he lives long enough
Governor Pennoyer always speaks by
the card. If he is eccentric, it Is th'
kind of eecentticity The people admire
inasmuch rs he is ALWAYS on the sid,
OF the people. -Fidette.

piled he believed it hardly worth while
to say anything, as there was assump-
ton only, instead of argument, in all
that the judge had said. ''lf ne had

Federal constitution that the Federal
courts had right to nullify State laws;

plete control, then / might have been

Judge, in the lecture, really said moth
ing worthy Of on answer. 10 be sure,

turns, and the Judge has turned his

do now say for the first time in cur
existence that we do favor the road
from Drain to Scottsburg. However
we never were opposed to it but we
never heard Of it until recently. We
should like railroad to Coos Bay, yet
this. Drain road it seems to us is neces

more. No gentlemen, withhold your
